  • Colonel MacKenzie (talk • contribs • page moves • block • block log) - Attempted to impersonate Connel MacKenzie. --Connel MacKenzie T C 17:23, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
  • SempelBrotto (talk • contribs • page moves • block • block log) Attempted to impersonate SemperBlotto. --Connel MacKenzie T C 17:23, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Various anon IPs. Targetting User:Tawker with personal attacks, Nazi allegations (?), along with Jimbo, apparently for requesting a page deletion on Wikipedia. I have simply been blocking these IPs indefinately and rolling changes back. IP hopping is reminicent of last year's goatse vandal. --Connel MacKenzie T C 17:41, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
  • User:Hgh (talk) (contributions)-- User deleted all contents from Wiktionary:How to edit a page (Used to say "How does one edit a page", but I've moved that page-Richardb). As this is the user's only contribution, it appears to be vandalism. -- Redfarmer 02:35, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • 68.64.50.196 vandalised Philia three times in three days. InfoSlave 22:10, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • 212.211.136.33 has vandalised 7 pages on the 2nd of April 2004 and now he did it again with the main page on the 30th of May. If he shows up again, I think he is a candidate for immediate blocking of his IP address. Polyglot 06:43, 30 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Hollywood Jam - 66.123.252.135 created "Hollywood Jam", an encyclopedic entry, on 14 July. I moved this to Wikipedia and got a message informing me that this entry was fictional. The poster has a record of posting similar nonsensical entries on Wikipedia and has been banned there. He/she also created "Tiny Toon Adventures The Baby-Sitters Club", which was also fiction. If similar entries appear here, I suggest contributions to Wiktionary from this IP address are also banned. — Paul G 15:20, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • 221.196.57.131 inserted loads of external links on the main page, prolixity and my user page. The link titles were all in chinese (or similar...). Might need to keep an eye on him/her. \Mike 09:44, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • 142.177.153.134, vandalized several pages, also created unless links (Could be User:142 from wikipedia).--[[User:Plato|Comrade Nick @)---^---]] 05:47, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • User:Jandevries went to the trouble of creating a nick. All he has been doing is vandalising pages. I'll ban him for a week. Polyglot 08:03, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • 221.197.16.90 may be the same person as 221.196.57.131 above. Loads of weird links. Look at his contributions. Pinkfud 04:03, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • 129.11.157.70 vandalized Marijuana and Qua Mjager 00:12, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • 221.198.74.111 Spammer 03:15, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • User:AAA Spammer (could be 221.198.74.111) 05:07, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • 221.197.19.225 Spammer (lists of Chinese links). Vandalised pages cleaned up. — Paul G 10:00, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • 219.137.110.229 Spammer (lists of Chinese links). Vandalised page fuck cleaned up.--Richardb 12:34, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • 81.134.125.132 - Obscenities overwriting about a dozen top level pages - see user conntributions list. All pages restored.--Richardb 00:31, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • 221.197.18.150 (lists of Chinese links probably to increase page ranking). This is not the first time (it's very likely happened more than 3 times now). It makes me wonder what we can do about it. Maybe we should ask Google not to consider links from Wikimedia servers for their page ranking... Polyglot 08:35, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • 212.135.1.83, 212.135.1.57, 212.135.1.49, 212.135.1.80 is probably the same user who is very fond of our Sole trader page and comes spamvertising on it quite often. Should we block these IP-addresses? Protect the page? There is an option to request (on meta) for certain urls to be unsaveable. I'm trying to get that set up for the urls he wants to spamvertise. Polyglot 15:24, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • User:66.189.90.99 deleting page contents like mad. Needs to be blocked ASAP!
  • Blocked. Polyglot 10:52, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • User:68.163.218.28 (MasterGod in comments) blocked for repeated rubbish contributions to various "Mole" related articles. --Dvortygirl 18:04, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • 218.80.68.136 Spammed a few pages with lots of Chinese links. I've cleaned up the pages. Mairene 4 July 2005 08:14 (UTC)

http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=%C2%A0

It would be nice to see this person grow up, anyway it has been reported. Hopefully something will be done about it. In the mean time we'll just revert the damage he causes. Polyglot 10:18, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

At the moment, it looks like his mom told him it's time to go to bed - and to turn off that computer thingy. --Connel MacKenzie 06:17, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Thank you Eclecticology. --Connel MacKenzie 05:46, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)


If I'm wrong, I apologize (in advance), but I still want to draw attention to the stuff that's getting submitted by [1] and [2]. They smell fishy. What do we do about them? Polyglot 17:10, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

This chap is vandalising articles with false Kyratopia translations. SemperBlotto 19:49, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one who never heard of this language. I already warned him (yesterday), if he keeps it up, I'll block him. Polyglot 19:55, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

User:221.196.195.246 wreaked havoc with unbelievable quantities of meaningless links, such as in Table. Havoc undone but the Table demands satisfaction. --HelloMrMe 05:45, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

This one keeps coming back, but appears to be some kind of spambot that uses a wide range of dynamic IPs. Eclecticology 01:53, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

User:82.77.137.102 is spamvilizing Homo. --HelloMrMe 01:55, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

User:62.252.224.13 is adding nonsense involving something called Gurnig, unwarranted praise of someone infamous, and some conspiracy involving a Wikipedia Admin. Mark4011 03:01, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

User:62.252.224.12 seems to be the same person, but is more covertly adding false definitions involving Gurnig into random existing entries. Mark4011 03:10, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. Both ips blocked for 24 hours. Not sure if I got them all (you guys did most of the cleanup.) --Connel MacKenzie 07:57, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

User:60.26.37.251 is vandalizing pages by advertising via links. --Mark4011 06:19, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

user:221.196.195.162 appears to be dumping junk in recent entries. --Dvortygirl 07:00, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Tonight it's user:60.26.37.47

Multiple inexplicable vandalism by Ph34R etc (Leet for fear). All vandalism is bounded by html comments so doesn't show up. What is he doing? SemperBlotto 19:56, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Vandalizing pages. Why do vandals spray paint walls? Testing the random page feature, perhaps? --Connel MacKenzie 20:07, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Sorry for the trouble I have caused. No, I'm not testing the random page feature, and I'm not a vandal. What I'm doing is neccasary. Ph34r is eating now 20:36, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
No, it's not. No justification, no warning. Hundreds of edits, (certainly not a "well behaved" bot!) Stop already. --Connel MacKenzie 20:49, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Fine, I shall stop my activities here. Again, I'm sorry for the trouble I have caused, but it was neccasary. By the way, I am not using a bot. Ph34r is no longer eating 20:56, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
"Necessary"??? Bah! \Mike
An FYI to the contributors of this Wiki project, this vandal has attacked another Wiki twice recently, on April 16th and May 19th, showing an ability to edit and/or move pages with amazing speed. Hard to tell if this vandal is using a bot or not. In any case, a summary of events can be found here. We would of course be happy to divulge the IP's this vandal has attacked from upon request. --Archaic Bulbapedia Editor 138.130.219.71 11:21, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

User:TTYLyo505 blocked for 24 hrs - various suspect pages, either pseudo-agricultural or sexual. Some obvious vandalism. Please check all pages. SemperBlotto 07:15, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Person with various anonymous IP addresses repeatedly changes Froogle to some sort of advert. Just a mild annoyance. SemperBlotto 09:32, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Several IPs contributing tons of numeric romanizations.

Discussion moved to Wiktionary:Requests for deletion#Pinyin romanizations.

User:218.69.195.11 is dumping loads of advertising links in recent entries. --Dvortygirl 07:21, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

He started out as User:,SemperBlotto (with a comma) then became User:Roar. What is he doing with User:Roar/monobook.js ?

User:203.26.16.66 vandalizing pages, I blocked for 24 hours. Kevin Rector 01:12, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

User:81.215.250.26 spammed hello, I reverted and will be on the lookout for future edits from 81.215.250.26. - TheDaveRoss

  • User:Dittoboy blocked for 48 hours. Spammed the administrator's talk pages with the following:

I've been vandalising, and will continue vandalising, pages in order to be blocked indefinitely. After that, I can keep Bar Ilan University blocked indefinitely, in accordance with a political boycott which I am forcing on Wiktionary against Bar Ilan University. Dittoboy 17:55, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • User:Fesw blocked for page-move vandalism. Xe appears to have used a tactic of moving pages, then overwriting the redirects so as to break the undo path. --Dvortygirl 00:20, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Discussion on this tactic and how to revert it are at User_talk:Uncle_G#Latest_vandal. --Dvortygirl 00:57, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • User:Wonderfool (a sysop!) deleted his own talk and user page, several MediaWiki pages, Main Page (and its talk page) and Wiktionary:Community Portal. Sysop priviledges were removed by User:Brion VIBBER - very strange. SemperBlotto 14:08, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

User:68.73.13.254: Put nonsense on several pages. Eclecticology 08:09, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Various spelling variations of User:SemperBlotto - attempting to force various spelling variations of the previously deleted "exicornt" - SemperBlotto 23:00, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
    • This vandal kept coming back as an anonymous user. I've blocked the two AOL ranges used by this user, 64.12.0.0/16 and 205.188.0.0/16, for 1 day. This almost certainly will block innocent users as well. However, the rate of vandalism was quite high. Uncle G 12:49, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit]

Text dumpers from commerical dictionaries

There seems to be an increase in dingbats cutting and pasting entries from www.dictionary.com. Perhaps we are more popular, and people really are in a rush, or can't read, or just don't care. Just to keep better tabs on what's going on, I'm going to start blocking these on a medium term basis, and logging them here.
